Okay,

I'm using the rpm's of the docbook tools. I did a clean install of RedHat
6.2, and followed the recommendation of the page at
http://i18n.kde.org/doc/install.html by de-installing the RPM's that ship
with RedHat and installing the following:

   docbook-dtd30-sgml-1.0-6.noarch.rpm
   docbook-dtd31-sgml-1.0-6.noarch.rpm
   docbook-dtd40-sgml-1.0-6.noarch.rpm
   docbook-dtd41-sgml-1.0-6.noarch.rpm
   docbook-style-dsssl-1.57-2.noarch.rpm
   docbook-utils-0.5.5-1.noarch.rpm
   jade-1.2.1-6.i386.rpm
   jadetex-2.20-2.noarch.rpm
   perl-SGMLSpm-1.03ii-3.noarch.rpm
   sgml-common-0.3-1.noarch.rpm

I copied the simple "Hello World" example from
http://nis-www.lanl.gov/~rosalia/mydocs/docbook-intro/get-going.html#HELLO-WORLD
into a file called "helloworld.docbook". 

As people have mailed this list pointing out, the documentation on the
sources site is outdated, so I had to guess as to what flags would work
with the docbook utilities. Here's what I tried:

   docbook2pdf \
   ?  -c /usr/share/sgml/docbook/sgml-dtd-3.1/catalog \
   ?  -d /usr/share/sgml/docbook/dsssl-stylesheets-1.57/print/docbook.dsl
   helloworld.docbook

Is this right? I'd be happy to mail Mark Galassi a patch to the
http://sources.redhat.com/docbook-tools/ web page that documents how to
use the flags with the file locations where the RPM's put things if
someone can get me started on the right path.

Also, it seems like there is a problem actually producing a .pdf, here's
what I get:

   Using catalogs: /etc/sgml/sgml-docbook-3.0.cat,
   /usr/share/sgml/docbook/sgml-dtd-3.1/catalog
   Using stylesheet:
   /usr/share/sgml/docbook/dsssl-stylesheets-1.57/print/docbook.dsl
   Working on: /home/wbrooks/box/work/foo/helloworld.docbook
   This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159-13d (Web2C 7.3.1)
   (Fatal format file error; I'm stymied)


...are other people able to get this working? 

Bill
